Which course does Brendan Powell do best at?

Towcester by strike rate: 14 wins from 114 runners (12.3%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most runners on the same basis, and only those with at least 30 — a small sample cannot top the list, and a rarely-visited course is not in the comparison.

Brendan Powell, with 583 runners since 2008 — 14% of the total. That pairing has won 44 (7.5%).

What is Brendan Powell's Fair A/E?

The read

The record is strongest at Southwell (AW) (23.7%, n=59), clear of the yard's 8.3% baseline. A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 11.9% (n=202, Fair A/E 1.23), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 2% (n=51, Fair A/E 0.47). Debutants are the standout value angle: 7.3% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.36 and +72.75 to a £1 stake over 192 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet a horse in first-time headgear: 4.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.65 and −50.50 to a £1 stake over 141 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Brendan Powell rode 14% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (7.5%, A/E 0.79). The record read poorly in Class 1 — 1.3% over 76 runners, 7pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the 32Red Floodlit Stakes at Kempton (AW) (Nov 2018, £28,355). The stable star of the record was Award Winner (GB) — 10 wins from 59 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.3% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Headgear figures use the true-first definition (first gear appearance in the captured career); returns are gear back on after a bare run. Claiming riders are runs where the booked rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

The 60 most-raced of 452 horses sent out in this window. Runs, wins and places only: a strike rate or a return on a handful of runs is noise, so none is quoted per horse — each horse's full record is on its own page.

Where they came from · where they went next

Of the 60 horses listed, 23 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Brian Meehan (2); 37 had their first archived run for this yard.

19 have since run for another yard; 41 have no later run for another yard in our archive.

Read from each listed horse's whole archived career (2005 onwards), not only this window, and counted over the horses listed above, not the whole string. “First archived run” means our archive holds nothing earlier, not that the horse was unraced. A horse with no later run elsewhere may still be here, be off the track, or have run somewhere our archive does not cover — none of that is asserted.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.
